What boundaries have you set with your teen and dating?
Kareā„Bear asked:
I have a 14-1/2 year old freshman daughter who was just asked to homecoming. I am allowing her to go, as they are going in a large group and I have just met the young man for the first time. I still maintain she’s too young to date one-on-one and she cannot get into a car with someone that I have not met/do not know. What rules have you set up with your teen and dating?
I have a 19 year old son who did not start dating until he was a junior/senior in high school. He was interested in school activities, sports and working - so I was not prepared for this to happen so soon.
Please no sarcastic comments - I am looking for parents’ replies - not other teens. Thanks!
to the first poster: that’s where I am at - I am looking to set reasonable limits and boundaries - If I had it my way - she wouldn’t date at all..but that’s unreasonable…which is why I posted the question.
